For the past few years, students in my first semester calculus physics laboratory have explored kinematics (and also a little dynamics) by building and launching model rockets. Working in groups, the students build Estes Big Bertha or Baby Bertha rockets from kits. Then, we travel to a local park to launch the rockets. The rockets

The following animations are good videos showing animations of how heat engines and heat pumps work. The Otto Cycle and internal combustion engines. The Diesel engine. A split-system air-source heat pump.

In order to run the following simulations you need a web browser capable of running javascript and of interpreting HTML5. Brownian Particle Simulation in 2D A Simulated Time-Lapse Video of Brownian Particles in 2D
